Have more than 1 other partition or device available for mounting in side pane. Click on each partition - which then mounts and opens that partition. Right click on any one of these partitions and unmount. Home folder of user in Places is now selected. Now right click on one of the other previously mounted partitions. The main window of thunar continues to show the contents of the user's home folder, however in the side pane - the partition you unmounted remains selected. An inadvertant use of Enter or Space (at least) now results in the partition being remounted. Would expect home folder to be selected again.
